During the home-port period, a pre-JI is conducted before the JI by the battalion embarkation officer and the regiment embarkation staff from Port Hueneme, California, or Gulfport, Mississippi. When deployed overseas, the pre-JI is performed by COMSECOND/COMTHIRDNCB embarkation representatives. The pre-JI includes the inspection of all chalks of CESE, marriages and mobile loads of CESE, hazardous materials, and Special Handling Data/Certification (DD Form 1387-2) (fig. 2-3), and 463L pallet loads. The pre-JI allows the battalion time to correct any discrepancies before the main joint inspection (JI). NOTE: Ensure members are licensed for CESE assigned. licenses can be checked during this inspection. The JI is conducted by the battalion embarkation officer, regiment or COMSECOND/COMTHIRD-NCB representatives, and the combat cargo officer of a ship or, for aircraft, the Departure Airfield Control Element (DACE) in conjunction with the U.S. Air Force Airlift Control Element (ALCE). The joint inspection is recorded on the DD Form 2133 (fig. 2-4). Information concerning the operations of the marshaling area or joint inspections are provided in the MAC Affiliation Training Program Airlift Planners Course, MAC pamphlet 50-13, and the Naval Construction Force Embarkation Manual, COMSECOND/COMTHIRDNCBINST 3120.1 series. CESE AND MATERIAL PREPARATION Upon notification of the air det to mount-out, the battalion re-organizes and sets up a mount-out control center (MOCC). The MOCC is under the direction of the battalion executive officer. The MOCC controls, coordinates, and monitors the movement of all personnel, supplies, and equipment to the marshaling area. The MOCC and the embarkation staff control all aspects of an NMCB mount-out and serve as the coordinating center for all the companies and battalion staff. During this period, the battalion is normally organized into 12-hour shifts. Alfa company is responsible for all CESE preparation. The flow of the CESE through Alfa company is similar to the BEEP flow chart listed in chapter 1. During this time period, the air det is usually involved in briefings, medical and dental checkups, administration office checkups, and personnel readiness inspections. However, YOU need to schedule time to communicate with Alfa company, and FOLLOW UP on the status of CESE requested. Remember, the battalion is preparing CESE and supplies for the air det that you will have to live with. Embarking on an aircraft requires special loading procedures for several types of CESE assigned to the battalion TOA. These procedures are outlined in the Figure 2-3.—Special Handling Data/Certification, DD Form 1387-2. 2-4
